Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! So we had a wonderful Christmas morning and our kids were pretty satisfied with their presents, as you can see, they are all smiles on Christmas morning. I am just glad that it is over, and that everything went well. I am not a scrooge, but the stress of the holidays can get a bit overwhelming. For now, although, I will look back on this Christmas with fondest memories until next year.

My computer bit the dust!

I just had to apologise to all of you that didn't receive a Christmas card from us this year. Our computer died after doing an update, and the pictures that I was going to send with our cards was lost along with all of our software. Because I am a procrastinator, I waited till the last minuet to send cards. I decided to just bag it when I couldn't include a picture. Any who, it's all good cause the picture I was going to send is the same one on this blog, so you've already seen it. Lucky and unlucky for us we did manage to save the pictures after all, but it cost us way to much, and a whole lot of waiting for the computer repair people to fix it. We should have just bought another computer. Oh well live and learn. So to all of you that should have received a card, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanksgiving was a sucess! You can tell by the roundness of our tummies! Ok, just kidding, this is my prego big sis and me. She is about a month ahead of me, though you would never know it, you would think I'm having twins. We are both very excited to be having girls, and so is Mailey and her daughter Thialer. Mailey has wanted a sister for a long time.

Since this is our first post, we thought that it would be nice to add some pictures of the last year. We included family vacations, birthdays, holidays, ect.

Trick or Treat!

The kids were so excited for Halloween. Jackson always knows what he wants to be a year before, he is obsessed. It always has to be something gruesome, or scary, no cute costumes for him (sigh). Mailey is out of the princess stage now but still wants to look cute. Cole on the other hand doesn't have a choice..... yet. This is a hand-me-down costume from Jackson last year.

Mailey was baptized on October 11th. We are so proud of her! I can't believe that we have an eight year old!

This is the latest photo taken of our family. It was taken in the fall of 2006, it is pretty old, but we haven't changed all that much. I will be sure to update it as soon as we get a new pic.
